Random thoughts...

Well, here are some random thoughts on the last night of my last pregnancy.
1) I can't wait to wear regular clothes again! I'm tired of all the frumpiness (is that really a word?)
2)I'm extremely excited about seeing what my third boy looks like. Since my other two look nothing alike I wonder if Rhett will look completely different as well or resemble one of the others?
3)I'm extremely thankful that I've had a smooth pregnancy. I've been very blessed with all three pregnancies in that me and the babies have all been healthy.
4)I can't wait to see how the older boys react to seeing their new baby brother for the first time.
5)I can't wait to hear that precious first cry--there is nothing in the world quite like that! :)
6)I have noticed throughout the day that I've been careful to pay attention to each and every tiny move Rhett has made today. I know that as this is my last day to ever be pregnant I'll miss those little (and sometimes not so little) nudges and kicks.
7)As I was tucking my little ones in to bed tonight I realized that there is no one quite like mom to them. A "snuggle" (which is our nightly routine) from dad was just not the same and they didn't want to say goodnight without that "snuggle" from mom! Melts my heart.
8)I have a lot of anxiety over this upcoming surgery. Although this will be my third--you'd think I'd be an old pro by now!--I'm very nervous. My first c-section was unplanned. The second came early, before the scheduled date. This week I've found myself sitting around anticipating a surgery rather than a birth.
9)I'm an emotional wreck. I have this flood of all these different emotions, not to mention hormones! Sleep is not something that has come easily for me over the past few months but especially tonight I find it hard to relax and get ready for sleep.
10)I know that tomorrow after seeing, hearing, smelling my precious baby boy all of the above mentioned things will melt away and I'll feel once again what every mother feels when she meets her baby for the first time--blessed and feeling that every minute was worth it all!
